Chunky necklaces are making a statement this season, and we love these rich fall-toned styles at Monkee’s of Mountain Brook ($63 each). Wear one as a standout accent or layer them with other pieces in your jewelry collection to add a little extra interest to a simple top or dress.

We love the rich mix of colors in this paisley scarf ($24) from Soca in Homewood. Pair it with dark jeans, a basic tee, and sneakers for a simple everyday look, or let the colorful print be the statement against an otherwise neutral outfit.
